1
Sit on a weight bench with backrest support, feet planted firmly on floor. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with arms extended downward at sides, palms facing forward in supinated position.

Position yourself with chest upright, shoulders relaxed and back, elbows tucked close to torso. Ensure core is engaged and spine maintains neutral alignment against backrest.
